Chapter 72 Siege (42)(2/2)
Fan Shang turned his head and looked at the "rebels" wearing blue and gray clothes.
He couldn't see the face of the "rebels", but judging from the response of the "rebels", he could feel that the "rebels" were not panicked.
The musketeers of the "rebels" did not run away directly, but took turns to shoot the ammunition in the gun chamber at the square formation of the Eighth Brigade and then calmly took it back.

The formation of the "rebels" was originally a triangle with the center in front and the two wings in the back.
Now, the two wings of the "rebels" really look like two spread wings, hugging towards the square formation of the seventh and eighth battalions. The comb-toothed gun rod is like flying feathers on the wings.
Volleys, rotations, advancement of the square array, and transformation of the front lines, thousands of individuals acted neatly under the will of one or two people - all of this made Fan Shang fascinated.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves like rolling stones sounded.
The "rebel" cavalry under the hillside moved, wearing the "rebel" cavalry cut in the colorful clothes made of cashmere that had been soaked in many times, waved their shiny sabers, rushed up the hillside, and rushed straight towards the square formation of the seventh and eighth battalions.
The seventh team, which was underway, immediately stopped and formed a formation on the spot to protect themselves.
The "rebel" cavalry shot with a fake shot. They wiped the tip of the gun, passed the square formation of the seventh and eighth battalions, and rushed towards the top of the hillside without stopping.
Fan Shang woke up from his dream - the "rebel" cavalry came to him.
He hurriedly carried his injured comrades, and as he got closer and closer, he climbed into the phalanx of the Fifth Brigade with the sound of hooves.
"Free fire!"
"Free fire!"
"Free fire!"
The roars of the soldiers even temporarily overwhelmed the sound of hooves.
The musketeers of the Fifth Brigade set up muskets between the barrels of the super-long spear and shot projectiles at the "rebel" cavalry.
In the torrent of gorgeous clothes, horses and smoke, several "rebel" cavalry fell from their horses.
And all the musketeers from the seventh and eighth battalions who failed to hide in the square died.
The "Rebel" cavalry was like a strong wind at midnight, whizzing and leaving, leaving only a broken corpse and arms.
On the other hand, the musketeers of the "Rebels" captured the fighter jets of the seventh and the eighth battalion blocked by the "Rebels" cavalry, and emerged from the gap between the "Rebels" spear team. At an extremely dangerous distance, the seventh and the eighth battalion fired a ruthless and accurate volley.
Seventh, the spearmen in the Eighth Brigade - especially those in the front row with heavy armor and double-earned spearmen, were all over the place like wheat swept by a sabi scythe.
Seventh, the square formation of the eighth battalion was scraped off one layer.
The spear team on both wings of the "rebels" had already vaguely surrounded the seventh and eighth battalions.
At the same time, by flipping over the bodies of the rebel musketeers, Lieutenant Colonel Jean van Berdanna finally figured out how the rebels fired multiple times without reducing the loading speed.
The answer is extremely simple: the rebels' ammunition is not wrapped in wooden bottles, but in paper; a lead bullet and a cup of gunpowder are wrapped in advance with oil paper and put in a pocket; each rebel has a full bag, enough to kill everyone in the "Twelve Legions".
But it's too late.
Even people like Fan Shang who have not received military education in the college can see that it is - the seventh and the eighth battalion are going bad.
They are like two huge beasts, although they are extremely powerful, but they are too bulky. The blue-gray "rebels" are like a sparse net that is not leaking, slowly strangling the seventh and eighth battalions.
Of course, Fan Shang's superiors can do what Fan Shang can see.
A shrill whistle spread throughout the high ground. The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion raised their weapons when they heard the sound, waved the military flag, issued the command, and the drum sounded.
The only reserve team of the "Twelfth Legion" in this battle - the Fifth Infantry Battalion, was officially launched into combat.
Fan Shang in the square formation was wrapped up and left the high ground in a daze, heading towards the seventh and eighth brigades.
Just then, the sound of cannons rang out.
One sound.
Two tones.
Three tones.
Amid the chaotic gunshots, commands and drums, these three thunders that penetrated the clouds and cracked the stones were extremely abrupt, extremely clear, and extremely awake.
"Where did the sound of cannons come from?" Fan Shangdong looked around.
"Where did the cannon sound come from?" The soldiers were also searching around.
"Where did the cannon sound come from?" The officers were even more anxious.
After the sound of cannons, there were loud shouts of killing.
That is not the sound that musketeers can shoot each other from afar, or even the sound that gun arrays can collide.
That is the roar and roar that humans can only make in the cruelest, bloodiest and most intense hand-to-hand combat.
Then there was a roar of cannons.
One sound.
Two tones.
Three tones.
This time, everyone heard it clearly:
The sound of cannons came from the north and from the direction of the "cardia".
In an instant, many officers of the "Twelve Legions" were excited.
"The sound of cannons in the north?" Berdanna looked up, but unfortunately he was blocked by the terrain and could not see anything. "Is Ribeck coming with our cannon?"
On the high ground, although Van Sgo Aldame could not see the direction of the cardia, his face turned pale, his hands holding the reins had turned white.
